OMG! you two! That hit to the face is going to win you some street cred!

Eric, did that stone pass? or,, are you still waiting for it...

I think it passed but I've yet to see it.

Brother's in common @ Parade.
More to the story with Dick Zarbo (Hawk) he took Eric to the local hospital and spent most of the night making sure he was properly treated. Dick is Dr. of Pathology and KD Ward Chair VP of a Major Hospital, Eric was in good hands if he passed away Hawk is a special friend to us 914er's.
Eric & I lead the 40+ new/old through the twisties on Tuesday and Wednesday he took a similar group I didn't attend. Eric, my wife saw the group at Spring Lake on Wednesday taking a break and drove through the parking lot (silver SUV) and saw your dad guarding your car. She thought your dad was you and said to me he is an old man, ha ha. I corrected her, I can't say enough about the friendship we share.

Paul, Thanks for our new 914 friendship, it will last a long time, now get well.
Thanks to all the other's not mentioned, everyone was special.

My summary of Porsche Parade.
I believe our 914 Parade group has advanced acceptance with PCA's 100K membership for the future of 914's. We had (7) 914's on display and in my opinion we raised the bar with the core group of Porsche members in the Porsche hobby. They talked about finding a 914 for their stable & waxed on about the 914 they used to own especially their 914-6's. Also, met Pete Stout in person after many emails and PCA is in good hands. Pete is putting together a team that is going to set PCA records. Pete is one of us 914er's & we need to support him when he brings about changes to PCA. I was also impressed with the Porsche factory people at the meet. Peter Porsche was there along with an army of higher ups. I am sure they noticed our presence. BTW: Buy the best 914 you can before they go up in price. 914's are on a roll.

Tom

My wife and I have been here all week. We have been enjoying Porsche friends so much that I did not have a chance to check this site too.
Got to chat briefly with Eric at the concours. You did a great job on your car. Its a beauty.

Even got to shake hands with Peter Porsche earlier in the week.

Tom Parker got first place in his class in the autocross in his recently restored silver 2.0L. He also showed this in the concours too. Another nice car and fast too.

I took the 914 tech quiz this morning. I will let you know how it went.

Ed Scott

Had the final banquet at the Parade this evening, and a 914er, Ed Scott, took first overall in the Tech Quiz as well. I managed to get a close second, so that was a nice evening.

To cap off the evening, Reliable Auto Carriers gave a round trip certificate to next year's Monterey PCA Parade, which I was fortunate enough to win! Now I have a easier way to get my 914-6 out west for next year's Parade! They also gave away two new Caymens from the member's raffle to two lucky winners, and the traditional trip to Germany sponsored by the Porsche factory!

Nice way to cap off a great week in Traverse City!

Very Nice George!

Lemme get this straight: they're gonna trailer you to and from the Parade?

Paul

George,
Let me know if you have room on board to Monterrey next year. Might be cozier than this years mode of transit I took to and fro the Parade :0
Congrats and it was very good meeting you.
Hawk

Got back on the PC after a few days of travel back from Parade 2013..... sorry for the delay in Congratulating all the Winners at Concours with their 914's.

We did not have our 2.0 litre with on this Parade, as we drove something a bit more disposable and easier to replace, since we had left in the midst of storm warnings, later to hear 2 inch hail fell and up to 9 inches of rain fell hard on our heels.

The driver/beater 944 made the trip and did so with aplomb, skirting disaster and adding 3,000 miles of uneventful, troublefree miles.....It is not a show worthy car in any sense, but it did us well with loyal service.

Congratulations to all.......
Tom. A pleasure to meet you and view your car as it was judged, all be it from afar as we had to juggle viewing and photo- ing our friend Steve's 73-Grey Beige 911, the 73 Sepia 911 of Candyce, and friend Cory and Deb's beautiful 356 - 4 Cam GT of 63 vintage.
Along with Paul's amazing 914...... We also had a friend's early 901 car that was placed in the Historic section---- Bob's amazing Monte Carlo Tribute, and another region member's first attempt at concouring their gorgeous 944 S2, along with fellow 911S Registry's Ed Mayo and his wonderful silver 911 from Texas.

Try as I might , I never got all the photos of everyone I came to see and support, nor got to spend the time I would have wanted to getting to know everyone personally...... but it was a GREAT and memorable pleasure meeting and speaking with fellow PCA and 914 World friends....

Paul. What can I say ? Hope it all heals well and may you remember the Parade for all its positives.......... I am SO glad we pulled out of the tour group on another run and didn't have to witness the carnage you endured. But really , I would have been there to help had I known what was going on. ( As an aside....... I nearly did the same thing when going into the same building BUT on a different day, as we left for another tour. I think we need to check that stair for proper rise.

Congrats George on winning the trip to Monterey next year with your car from Reliable Transport... WHAT a prize. Just Awesome !

See you all there at the famous tree in Carmel ~
